Starting from playing as a defensive midfielder for Real Madrid

Xavi Alonso asked again with some uncertainty. After getting a positive answer from Li Ang, Alonso also became interested.

He and Li Ang were not familiar with each other.

Because he participated in the World Cup this summer and successfully won the championship with Spain, he, Casillas, Ramos and others have received more rest time.

Therefore, these Spanish internationals did not participate in the pre-season training organized by Mourinho in mid-July.

But he also watched the two friendly matches Real Madrid played in the United States.

Li Ang's cooperation with Gago in the second friendly match made him shine.

Although he is still very young, Li Ang's performance on the court is very calm.

It may not be called excellent, but the stability that far exceeds the age of nineteen is enough for Alonso to have a good impression of Leon.

"Is there a reason? If it's convenient to talk about it, because as far as I know, you have been playing as a defensive midfielder since joining the Real Madrid youth team. If you need, I can actually share with you more about playing in the defensive midfielder. The experience of field defense, I think this may be helpful to your career development.”

Alonso considered his words and wanted to persuade Li Ang to spend more time on studying his defensive skills as tactfully as possible.

Because the job of organizing a team is really not something that young midfielders can master and use just by studying hard.

This is the same mysterious thing as the forward's sense of smell in front of the goal.

First of all, you must have talent in this area, and secondly, if you find the right training direction, your growth can achieve the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.

Li Ang has played as a defensive midfielder in the youth team for so many years, which explains the problem.

Li Ang does not have the talent to organize the team. If so, the coaches of Real Madrid's youth training echelon are not blind or fools.

It is obviously more in Real Madrid's interest to develop a calm and calm playmaker than to develop a purely defensive midfielder.

To put it bluntly, even if you can't use it at home, it will be more valuable to sell it as a playmaker in the future.

"Huh? If I have any questions about defense, can I ask you for advice? Thank you so much! I want to seize every opportunity to learn as much as possible. Even if I don't gain much in the end, at least I can I’ve tried hard, but it just depends on whether it’s convenient for you.”

Alonso looked at Li Ang, who was sincerely explaining his reasons in front of him, and who also knew how to "hit the snake with a stick", and suddenly felt that he should not talk too much about sharing his defensive experience just now.

However, after pondering for a moment, Alonso gradually relaxed his brows, and then patted Li Ang heavily on the shoulder.

"After the training session is over, just practice passing with me first. Well, today can be considered the first day."

After Alonso said this, he motioned to Li Ang to go to another training ground with him.

Li Ang, who reacted quickly, thanked him excitedly, and then followed Alonso to carry the simple equipment needed for practice with an obedient look on his face.

Nacho, who was waiting to complete additional training with Li Ang, was dumbfounded, and the rest of the Real Madrid players were also a little surprised.

Alonso usually gets along well with all the players in the team, and everyone is very united on the training ground and on the field.

But as soon as the training session is over, Alonso will almost always practice alone or go home directly after physical therapy.

In other words, Brother Long is very dedicated and gets along well with everyone, but privately he and the Real Madrid players are not so much good buddies or good friends as they are good colleagues who respect each other.

Li Ang, this kid, has quickly become close to Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema in the past few days, but today he actually got Alonso to agree to practice with him for extra time?

What's going on? !

Can being handsome really make you successful in developing social relationships?

Many average-looking Real Madrid stars fell into deep thought.

On the other side of the small training ground, Li Ang couldn't wait to have sex for free. Oh no!

I want to ask Alonso for some organizational insights that I can't figure out.

After being asked many questions by Li Ang in a meaningful way, Alonso truly believed in Li Ang's determination to learn.

This kid is not kidding, he really wants to slowly learn how to organize a team!

When Alonso used his own way and experience to answer Li Ang's question, he looked at the young but serious thinking face of the other party, and couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion in his heart.

Like, Li Ang is so similar to himself when he was nineteen years old!

He has firm goals and ambitions, and also has a composure far beyond his peers.

In addition to his different talents, Li Ang can be said to be a replica of another 19-year-old Alonso.

This may be one of the reasons why Alonso finally agreed to Li Ang training with him.

He admired Li Ang's determination and seriousness.

Because he was like this before, taking the initiative when he was nineteen years old, finding the head coach and firmly stating that he wanted to take on the important task of helping the team avoid relegation.

Because of this brave determination, he finally got a good start in his career.

But now that he saw Li Ang, who also needed opportunities and recognition, who took the initiative, he really couldn't bring himself to express his refusal.

But now Li Ang's serious questions and practical training have made Alonso feel relieved.

If you are determined to make progress, you can endure hardships and practice hard, your brain will still be active.

Alonso suddenly felt that Li Ang might not have any hope of making a breakthrough in organizing offense.

Maybe it will take a long time for this breakthrough.

But if Li Ang can maintain his current learning attitude and accumulate experience correctly without slacking off.

Sooner or later, he believes that Li Ang will bring him a "little surprise".

One wants to learn, the other is willing to teach, and is qualified and interested to teach.

So Li Ang and Xabi Alonso, this "strange master and apprentice", quickly became the focus of hot discussions at the Valdebebas training base for the next two days.

Of course, the gradual closer relationship with Alonso did not bring much improvement to Li Ang's tactical position in the team.

Mourinho has recently practiced the formation and tactics of Khedira and Alonso starting together.

The only difference is that when playing 4-2-3-1, Xabi Alonso will partner with Khedira to form a double defensive midfielder, and when playing 4-3-3, Khedira will be active on the right side of the midfield, and Alonso's position will be relatively further back.

Mourinho obviously has high hopes for Khedira.

Perhaps he hopes that this tall midfielder with good "hardware" can be like his former favorite Essien.

Use diligent sweeping and tough defense to protect the core of the team's organization.

In Real Madrid, this core is naturally Xabi Alonso.

But in the Beckenbauer Cup on August 14.

Khedira, who made his debut on the field for Real Madrid and started the game, did not play the performance Mourinho expected.

The German midfielder's confrontation ability can only be said to be acceptable, far from being as tough as his body looks.

The sweep was swept, and the coverage was indeed covered, but Khedira's defensive efficiency was very average.

And what's even more bizarre is.

It was completely opposite to Mourinho's expectation that Khedira could "wipe the ass" for Alonso.

In the game, Alonso became the one who had to distract his energy to "wipe the ass" for Khedira!

Because Khedira's desire to advance was too strong!

His active participation in the frontcourt offense did make Real Madrid's offensive operation smoother to a certain extent.

But he couldn't come back after advancing.

After organizing the attack, Xabi Alonso had to help Khedira clean up his ass and defend and intercept. It was outrageous that one person did the work of two people.

This is actually not bad. After all, Khedira played like this in the Bundesliga before. Mourinho still has the confidence to successfully transform Khedira into an iron-blooded defensive midfielder.

But after playing the Beckenbauer Cup match with Bayern, just two hours later, Khedira felt discomfort in his calf and hurried to the team doctor for a check-up.

Mourinho finally got the news that Khedira needed to rest for at least two weeks in his anxious waiting.

At that moment, Mourinho really cursed directly!

The pre-season game has not been finished yet, and Pepe, Garay, and Albiol are all injured.

Las Diarra was injured and had to rest for two months before. Now Khedira is also injured and has to rest for two weeks. He will almost miss all the remaining friendly matches and the first round of La Liga!

Real Madrid's luck this month is really unlucky to the extreme.

The defensive end was injured in large numbers, and the central defenders became the hardest hit area. Now the defensive midfield is also short of people.

So Mourinho had no choice but to temporarily use Li Ang, who has stronger defensive ability than Gago.

In two consecutive friendly matches, Li Ang got the opportunity to start and formed a "master-disciple double midfielder" with Xabi Alonso.

As for the effect, the anxious Real Madrid fans really couldn't see how good it was, but at least it was stable.

Many reporters praised Alonso for shouldering the burden of Real Madrid's midfield at this time, organizing the defense, which was really hard.

And Li Ang took on the responsibility of frontal interception next to Alonso, helping Alonso to double-team the opponent again and again, and the credit of top defense and assisting defense was naturally downplayed by the media.

However, even if Li Ang is "ordinary".

He got the opportunity to start in two consecutive friendly matches and almost played the full game time.

Such treatment quickly attracted the attention of many fans in Spanish football.

Because almost everyone understood Mourinho's explicit statement.

He may really use this oriental boy as the starting player in Real Madrid!

Thank you all for your votes and rewards, thank you very much!
